The Evolution of the Mitochondria-to-Calcium Release Units Relationship in Vertebrate Skeletal Muscles
The spatial relationship between mitochondria and the membrane systems, more specifically the calcium release units (CRUs) of skeletal muscle, is of profound functional significance. CRUs are the sites at which Ca2+ is released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum during muscle activation. Close mitochon...
